About this property

Alton Bay Home with restored Boathouse and Gorgeous Sunsets

Welcome to ‘Hummingbird on Lake Winnipesaukee’. The property is sited on a beautiful slice of southwesterly facing waterfront with views of Mount Major. The property features a restored boathouse reminiscent of days gone by, with an oversized dock for you to relax, get some sun or go for a swim. In the evenings, you won’t want to miss the fabulous sunsets from this property! There is a ladder from the dock for swimming and there is also a gentle-access point into the water. The bottom is mixed (sand / pebbles) when entering from the shore, so water-shoes are recommended.

Inside, this three-bedroom lake home has been lovingly renovated inside and out. Enjoy your morning coffee sitting out in the 3-season room facing the lake. The home has an open concept floor plan (kitchen, dining area and living room). The kitchen has been finished with black stainless-steel appliances, custom cabinets and pine groove ceilings throughout. There are three bedrooms all on the main level of the home. The first bedroom has a Queen Bed. The second bedroom has a Full Bed and the third bedroom will have a Bunk Bed (Twin over Twin). Please note, the third bedroom is being converted from an office and does not have a closet. The bunk bed will have storage drawers. This home has all the amenities you would expect to have a great vacation including central air conditioning, wi-fi internet, washer and dryer, and a gas grille available for your enjoyment. The TV in the living room is a Smart TV with basic cable service. Each bedroom has a TV where you can use your own streaming accounts (no cable).

The amenities of Alton Bay (shops, restaurants, ice cream and a public boat launch) are about 10 minutes’ drive from this property. The picturesque town of Wolfeboro, which many people consider to be a destination point of its own, is approximately 15 minutes from the property. One week may not be enough to enjoy all that this property and the area has to offer you!

PLEASE NOTE: The dock can accommodate (1) boat up to 24 feet in length. The owner may allow a second boat to be kept inside the boathouse with prior approval. The slip inside the boathouse is relatively narrow and can accommodate a boat with a beam (width) of approximately 9 feet. No consideration will be provided should the boathouse not be accessible / available for guest use. There is parking for (3) cars max at this property. The road from the driveway is shared with the neighbor’s property and cannot be blocked at any time during your stay. This property has a strict no pet policy!

Fresh Linens may be rented, the fee for this property is $60 for sheets and $12 per person for towels. If you would like to have the beds made for you, the fee is $8 per bed.

Please note: Amenities and furnishings can change at any time without notice. At Owner discretion, exterior cameras may be in place now or in the future.

Perfect staycation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 5 night stay was a wonderful chance to salvage our summer. Having our boat at the dock, a huge waterside deck to enjoy lakeside living and phenomenal weather was fabulous. The house was very comfortable, super clean and just the right size for the two of us plus visiting friends. The property manager was great to work with. The expansive water views were hard to leave and we would definitely consider staying at the wonderful spot again.

Great stay, just a few recomendations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was great! Fun property. One complaint was that the lawn was mowed the day before we arrived, but cut very high. By mid-week, the lawn was tall and weedy, and by the end of the week, very overgrown. Simple fix is to have someone weed the lawn and have it mowed closer to where it can be enjoyed. It was nice to have the central air because a few days were in the 90s. It may be worth having a technician examine the duct work because the master bedroom temperature is vastly different than the office even though they are on the same thermostat. The request for 72-75 may need to be re-examined, because a more comfortable temperature was 70. Other than that, it was a beautiful renovation and great family who owns this property. The boat house is wonderful, and we had a fabulous week!

Sunset Views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our week in Alton Bay was wonderful. The Lake house was clean, modern, well stocked, with a great views Mt Major and beautiful sunsets! The property is in a small cove that is quiet with very friendly neighbors. The large dock is perfect for sunning, swimming, dining and listening to the Loons. The location is perfect with easy access to grocery shopping and a short boat ride to downtown Wolfboro. We would definitely love to visit again!

2021 Stay at Hummingbird

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. The house was in perfect condition and very comfortable. It was great to have use of the boathouse. The house is advertised as a 3 bedroom and there are 3 rooms with beds in them however you the door to the master bedroom is only through the bunk room so the bunk room is not really usable due to total lack of privacy.
